Thanks to everyone who helped made this week’s Streaming Media West show such a success. The feedback we got on the new venue and location was awesome and it really helped make the show much more enjoyable. I got a lot of positive feedback on our speakers, the topics discussed and all of the data that was given out. Tons of really good information was shared helping to educate the market, which was the whole purpose of the event. All of the presentations from the event are now available for download in PDF form, on the program page.

Video on demand archives are being worked on right now and we expect to have those up in about a week. If there is any follow-up you need from the show or introductions to others, please contact me at any time. If you want to get involved in our next show, Streaming Media East, taking place May 13-14 in NYC, the call for speakers is now open. Have a safe and enjoyable Thanksgiving holiday next week.

Key industry trends such as the escalating cost of pay-TV, changes in consumer behaviors, proliferation of mobile devices and the surge in OTT subscription models, suggest that the industry’s traditional bundled TV model could be tested over the next few years. It seems all you hear these days is about public, private, and hybrid clouds. Are cloud services applicable for enterprise video as well? At the Streaming Media West show, taking place Nov. 19-20 in Huntington Beach, we have a session that will explore the current state of the market as consumers express clear preferences for free and ad-supported offerings and subscription vod services. It will also examine the increasing willingness of consumers to pay for quality differentiated online video services, and the key elements they will most strongly demand. Confirmed speakers include:

• Moderator: Mark London, VP, Ad Solutions, Fox Networks Group
• Keith Zubchevich, VP, Market Development & Sales, Conviva
• Christophe Louvion, CTO, M-GO
• Chris Carey, VP, Product and Portfolio Solutions, Verizon DMS

While one may think it’s easy to take a single video clip and simply repurpose it for play back on multiple devices, the fact is, delivering video to so many different Android platforms and screen sizes is extremely challenging. At the Streaming Media West show, taking place Nov. 19-20 in Huntington Beach, presenters from BYU Broadcasting and Ooyala will show you how you can deliver live, linear, and premium VOD content, without the significant cost and lengthy time to market that is required to build custom video-centric apps.

While HEVC probably will serve as the successor to MPEG-4, many myths surround the technology and the rate at which it will be deployed. In reality, the mainstream market is not yet ready for HEVC, it’s still a few years away, and there isn’t an ROI to be achieved from being an early adopter of HEVC. At the Streaming Media West show, taking place Nov. 19-20 in Huntington Beach, Avni Rambhia, Industry Analyst in Frost & Sullivan’s Digital Media group, will discuss the current state of HEVC products and technology, and its strategic implications in the short, mid and long-term for a variety of businesses.
